one day to go

One day until our trip. Kayaked and watched fireworks with 40 000 people on Canada day yesterday. Bought a rugged back up hard drive just in case. Then my laptop started acting up. Jealousy? I've a list of things people tell me I MUST do in NYC. Broadway shows, favourite grocery store, museums, bagels, and on and on. And I have some contacts to catch up with - friends, friends of friends, family, etc. The list would take me a year to complete, and I wouldn't get any work done. Tried to move and ended up canceling free flights we had from Victoria airport to Vancouver. Leo and I will take float plane on the first leg of the journey instead. Aeroplan tried to charge me $94.50 per ticket cancelation fee on a trip they had given us for free! I managed to get out of that one after 2 hrs on hold. What an odd bunch. 

Checked my contracts one last time - I must deliver my full symphony #2 on October 1st to the Victoria Symphony, and I must deliver 3 movements of my Missa Brevis for the Unitarian Church commission on Sept 30th.
